Loving Math and science
why do people hate math
once you place a number in it he understands it
Making it real life problems
Algebra is interwoven
Presenting it abstractly sometimes doesn't understand
Getting away from rope memorization
How do we teach our teachers
Sharing your education
Why Don't we have a co-op in high school
focused on university high school
CTU CTE focus
career Technical
What is the public view
-weeding out people of math
-critical to broudening how math is used and informing the public
-change how we talk to people about changing the message and get them excited about it
-Their passion button
taking AP Cal and not choosing these majors
even if they graduate they might not go into engineering
maybe we don;t give them a chance to click
The more we can teach people to think the better the job will be
maybe their passion is put behind what they want
Nerd Club no reason to bring kids togetherin nothing to asses
Just having as many ideas together
thinking club
having kids interested
doesnt always have to be intersected into curriculum
people have reasons math can be a gate keeper
being creative with math and science but we've created a funnel that stops kids
how do we share our talents by
volunteering what they know
